In the competitive world of furniture and home décor, your brand name can make or break your business. Whether you’re a startup selling handcrafted wooden pieces or a large-scale manufacturer of plastic chairs, protecting your identity is key — and that’s where Trademark Class 20 becomes essential.
This guide provides a complete list of products covered under Class 20, explains why it matters for brand protection, and helps you determine whether your products fall within this category.
🪑 What Is Trademark Class 20?
Trademark Class 20 is one of the 45 classes in the Nice Classification system used globally for registering trademarks. This particular class is reserved for:
“Furniture, mirrors, picture frames; and goods (not included in other classes) made of wood, cork, cane, wicker, horn, bone, ivory, whalebone, shell, amber, mother-of-pearl, meerschaum, substitutes for all these materials, or of plastics.”
In simpler terms, Class 20 includes all types of non-metal furniture, decor, and plastic-made utility products.
🔍 Why Is It Important to Know the Covered Products?
When registering a trademark, it’s crucial to:
- Select the correct class (or your application may be rejected)
- Protect your brand in the right category to avoid infringement issues
- Ensure future expansion of your product range falls under the trademark’s scope
